Zack was pissed off after hearing all this.
"What the hell? This is like conning someone into marriage! Trevor is such a jerk! Next time I see him, I swear I'll beat the crap out of him. Marcus seems to be the reliable one after all." Zack said.
Then something occurred to Zack, "Wait a minute, wasn't Marcus always following Cornelia around like a puppy? Cornelia, you've been busy at the studio recently, but I haven't seen him around. I haven't even heard you call him."
Indeed, Cornelia hadn't been in touch with Marcus lately. It was as if they never existed in each other's worlds.
"He's been busy with work." Cornelia replied.
"Wasn't he always busy?" Zack questioned.
"Let's not talk about me. Let's focus on Abby." Cornelia didn't want to mention him.
"My problem is solved. I have nothing to do with Trevor anymore." Abby asserted.
Zack nodded, "Good, that's the way. If you can pick it up, you should be able to put it down. Don't get all heartbroken over a guy."
"Cornelia, answer Zack's question." Abby turned to her.
"What question?" Cornelia played it cool.
"Why hasn't Marcus come to pick you up?" Abigail asked.
"I told you, he's busy." Cornelia said emotionlessly.
